YAWNDB. Time Series Database Written in Erlang

I work at Selectel and a lot of our clients, who are leasing dedicated servers, require the information about traffic consumption.

2048 in Erlang

This article is about a WebSocket server on Erlang rather than about the game itself. I’ll tell you a small prehistory. When I began playing 2048 I couldn’t stop.
